Author Topic:   What is all this RP stuff???

Kurnous posted 05-22-99 09:29 AM ET
Well I know that you guys are probably laughing. I've seen people post stuff about Planetery alliances, having starfleets, galaxy wars and stuff.
Plain and simple. What is all this stuff? Background etc. And how do I get in. Can someone also tell me who are the major powers in all this.
Thanks and much appreciated if you reply!

It is sort of a story/game. everyone controls a Faction. Than he/she can go to war, colonise planets, discover tech, start alliences etc. etc. About how to join: JT, could you explain?

Sure thing.
Okay, RPing started a long time ago(in a galaxy far, far away! ). We basicly roleplay seperate Factions. Each has its own army, planets, and government.
If you want to get in, make up a Faction that you want to be the leader of. Make up a few planets and say you own them. Say if you're human or not, and where you came from. Then, we vote on wether you get in to the RPing.
"Elite" RPers are(no offense to those who aren't mentioned, it's just that you haven't been around all that long): Collins, Korian, Ronin, Galen, Eccles, and JT3(me). Some of the first RPers have left.
Anything else you need to know?

Well how do you figure out how everything is run. Such as resourses, population, fleets, armies, growth. Also how do you determine who wins and where?

Well, you don't need to state population. Resources are basicly generated into whatever you build, so you don't really state those. Growth you don't state, either, 'cause it goes with population. Fleets you do state. There are several sizes of ships(from biggest to smallest):
Doomstar
Armaggeddon
Star Destroyer
Battlecruiser
Cruiser
Destroyer
Infinity
Fighter
You state how many ships you have every once in a while.
As for fighting, we've only had one real human vs. human fight, and everyone was against one human, so he lost. We have these made-up enemies that we fight. We haven't really figured out a way to do single human vs. single human combat, though.

We pretty much trust everyone to make their posts realistic. If you want to see the specific rules check out RPing Council.

Can't you tell I've been studying, everyone?
OOC: Really, Eppon was too wierd a name, and noone responded, so I changed it, and changed my origin. I was watching for a while before that. It's actually kind of like those ongoing daytime shows. But, I thought it would be more fun if I actually joined, so, here I am!
